Article about: Hi, LW m40 helm with rubber band. It is absolutly all original, as it was found so. It is only cleaned... I think it was also made as camo...what you think... Regards

Yes..the band was restored by the "expert" guy. It is anyway in prity fragiled condition, and it is puted back on the helm..and not be tuched anymore.
Anyway, I am satisfyed with the helm, it is in bad shape but...but also the overpaint comeing from dark green to light green to dark yellow...it's not so visible on the pictures.
Bad condition, but rare example with band and more-colour overpaint
